R.E.M. – Document

Oh my gosh....I had not put this on in many years....perfection....insane pressing.

Great OG pressing for an iconic album from the 1980s. Excellent highs, mids, and bass. Stipe and Mills harmonies cut through the room. I feel like I'm back in middle school listening.

Nice loud cut, I got this near mint for $30 cad, sounds amazing.

In reference to the AA edition. A sharp, crisp, punchy and at times resonant transfer. A low output disc that requires significant volume before it begins to blossom.

Oof, what happened here? I found this at a GREAT price STILL SEALED and thought I couldn't it up. Surely, it had to be as good, if not better, than an OG, right? The packaging is great. The vinyl is thick, flat, and silent. The music is....flat. Lifeless. Muddled. If there's proof out there that Ludwig is imperfect, this is it. Stick with the RL OG pressing instead.

It's amazing how clear and dynamic R.E.M records become considering Chronic Town and Murmer's mysteriously muddy production was integral to their sound. Another great mastering by Bob.

Very loud. CD sounds good though. Been listen to this for 36 yrs.

Can anyone compare this against the Capitol Vaults pressing? Ten words.

My copy sounds fantastic. Deep, rich, and quiet. Big detailed sound with tight bass. Palpable energy and transparency throughout. Excellent pressing.

This Europadisk pressing sounds massive...sound is energetic, open, and dynamic, with dead silent vinyl.
